Apr 24, 2022 - Kindergarten (Sunday AM)

Hari Om Parents!


This Sunday was the twenty-fourth class of Balavihar!! Here is the summary of what we covered in the class:


After everyone joined the Zoom session:


  1. We started the class with Opening prayers. For the opening prayers we chanted Om three times and then chanted Sahana vavatu.
  2. We recapped why we learn P and Q in the end in Vedantic way of alphabet,  introduced the Letter Q - Quite.
  3. During Brainstorming time, we discussed what is quietness and Why we need to be quiet? And benefits of maintaining silent. 
  4. Then we did Yoga and each kid did their favorite poses. 
  5. Used daily life examples to explain how it bothers as when other people do not maintain quietness when the we sleep, do homework, doing pooja, visiting Temple or social gathering places. Explained to the kids that the same way others feel when we do not maintain quietness. 
  6. Practiced the shell game for quietness and asked the kids how they feel inside/mind when they maintain that silence. 
  7. For Story time, through the story of the Swan and Turtle moving from one Lake to another Lake, highlighted the importance of being silent when important tasks are being done.
  8. With that we finished learning all the alphabets in Vedantic way. Next class we will discuss the Annual day program performance and will start practice on that way. 
  9. Due to 4th grade monthly program, we ended the class early to join that.
